My present invention relates to artificial trees of any lind as the Well-known Christmas-trees, tancyor decorative-trees. Accoi-ding1 to my invention such trees are man u- 5 actured in such a manner that the several branches With their needles carried 'thereon bare the appearance in ditlierent colours., whereby a distinct animation in the effect of the tree is obtained.

'lt is obvious. that various changes in the material. used for manufacturing the trees may be resorted to without in any Way den parting; from the principle of my present in- Avention. For example the trees may be made i5 ot any material or stuff, such as coloured feathers, paper, straw, imitation silk or Woody fibres.

ln the accompanying drawingl is illustrated by way of example a form ot my invention in a side View Without defining' its limits.

Referring to the drawingthe illustration shows an artificial Christmastrec which con of a stem (L carrying the branches ZJ with. the needles thereon. The stem a of the tree is positioned in a socket c. According to my invention each branch of the tree shows two ditlferent colours and is manufactured in smell a'manner that for example the outer one part of cach branch towards the point is inane in red colour, Whilst the inner one directed towards the stem a shows a green colouring. The portions thus illustrating;V are shown in the ligure by the diiierent depths of shading whereby the outer one part of each branch towards the point in red colour is designated by e and the inner one directed towards the stem in green colour by Considering the tree coloured according, to my invention it is obvious that in employing a different colouring Jfor each branch of the tree an especial effect is obtained so giving the tree a distinct animation in its appearance.

I claim An articial tree comprising several branches, needles thereon the outer one part of each branch towards the point being made in red coloni', the inner one towards the stem being` made in green colour.
